Americans are shopping more for secondhand clothing as they look to spend less and save money, according to a new report.
Shoppers are not only buying from secondhand retailers more but are also spending less on each purchase.
“The number of secondhand fashion transactions per household grew nine times faster than secondhand spending in March, yet consumers across all income groups are spending less on each purchase since April 2025,” according to a Bank of America Institute report published Tuesday using credit and debit card data.
Helps that the current fashion is basically late 90s fashion too so you’re likely to find some good stuff there.
coulda made a fortune today if I kept all my JNCO jeans from high school. just the other week I saw a couple high school kids wearing them, trailing “jean tail” and all.
In some places that won’t even help. Seattle has a lot of thrift stores that cost as much as buying new. Main perk is a thrift store employee gives less than zero fucks about you stealing shit
You guys are buying clothes?
Once every 5 years or so, yeah
Give it another decade and we’ll be crouched naked and shivering in a puddle of piss, weeping and eating worms. While the rich fly high above in their private jets.
Look to or … have to?
second hand stuff has actually gotten to expensive.
I never stopped shopping thrift stores. They are great places for clothes, furniture, music, and books.
But blue MAGA told me we’re in the best economy ever
Nothing will turn the slaves against the masters faster than walking into a second hand clothing store and realizing that smell is their future. That’s the smell of the wretched public. That’s the smell of the great unwashed hordes. That’s the smell of us.
You must have some really bad stores by you.
Secondhand
Second-hand, even.
